5 Reasons to Choose Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring has quickly become the most popular flooring choice for both homes and businesses and it's easy to see why. Whether you choose luxury vinyl tile (LVT), luxury vinyl plank (LVP), or traditional vinyl flooring, every advantage still applies. Below are just 5 of the many reasons why you should choose vinyl flooring for your home or business.
1. Durability/Moisture Resistance
Vinyl is considered to be a very durable flooring option, especially when well-maintained. Vinyl floors come with a wear layer which contributes to its long lifespan, even in high-traffic areas of a home or office.
Even better, vinyl floors are one of the only moisture resistant flooring types on the market. Unlike carpet, tile and hardwood, vinyl sheets/planks/tiles and their PVC backings are waterproof, making this a perfect flooring choice for spaces that often get wet, like the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room.
2. Abundance of Options
Unlike the vinyl flooring popular in the 70's, the vinyl available today comes in a wide range of colors, patterns and even textures to fit any space. The most popular of these choices is vinyl flooring that resembles natural wood flooring. This vinyl comes at a fraction of the cost, is significantly more durable and requires a small fraction of the maintenance.
3. Comfort
Vinyl does not get cold, making it a great option for homes in cold climates. Vinyl floors are also installed with a cork or foam backing which provides a thin layer of insulation and a bit of 'give' when walking on it. With flooring types like tile and hardwood, there is zero give, making it hard on your feet and back.
4. Low Maintenance
One of the biggest appeals of vinyl flooring is the low maintenance. Because vinyl is so durable and water resistant, these floors will last a long time with very little maintenance and upkeep. Regular sweeping and mopping is all it takes to keep vinyl floors in top condition.
5. Affordability
Like most types of flooring, there are plenty of low and high-end vinyl flooring options. Vinyl might seem more expensive upfront, but vinyl lasts much longer and is more durable than most flooring types which saves you money over time.
Of the vinyl options, sheet vinyl is the least expensive. Though there are less options when you choose sheet vinyl, it still carries all the benefits of vinyl flooring mentioned above. The drawbacks of sheet vinyl are less options, a shorter lifespan and difficult to repair.
